A tiny community is gripped by the mystery that lies beneath the earth. Sparks are flying and smoke seeps strangely. Its all happening at the village of Bodibe near Lichtenburg and its getting so curious that the experts have moved in.

Sounds like Satan's movin' on up/to the top/of a delux Kingdom-of-Hell-on-Earth in Lichenbur-ur-urg. Okay, so it doesn't exactly fit the song , but that is weird. How do you find this stuff?
 
Couldn't that just be some kinda volcanic activity?

No, of course not silly. This is obviously the work of Satan, who is gaining power thanks to UNESCO, the ACLU, homosexuals, MTV, and birth control.
 
I do want to stress that I was only kidding, that lake in Lichenburg sounds like yellowstone, only without continual water addition, so it evaporates and just leaves hot dirt.
